Newmommy, a biopsy is not something that is done if there isnt something there to biopsy. Im sure you have been reading and learning so much info that you are on overload. Im hoping it turns out to be nothing. Im not a statistic minded person since Ive beaten the odds enough already but, there was a recent post that our founder Brian wrote. It mentioned that in any month someone could have something irregular in their mouth, 90% is not cancerous. (Im not sure if the figure is correct but its a very high number) I hope this helps to ease your mind. Wishing your husband calmness as he waits for the results.
